I shut a vailliant off today as gas was passing through gas valve to burner, only about .30 of a mb per minute but enough that I noticed it
 
Did a rayburn nouvelle last week, tightness test failed so got my sniffer out and traced the leak to the pipework in the solid floor as they had ducted the pipe and it was coming out of the duct outside :) so serviced the rayburn, then IDed the service pipe and disconnected it at the meter, customer wasnt unduly unhappy, just got their local plumber in to reroute the supply round the house.
